摘要
A PCF-based MZI with regular and high-contrast fringe pattern is fabricated by splicing a section of PCF in between two SMFs with a commercial available fusion splicer. Its resonant wavelength is sensitive to external bending with a sensitivity of 3.046nm/m but independent on temperature. To that end, we also propose another kind of bending sensor with higher sensitivity of 5.129nm/m. This device is constructed by combining an LPG and an MZI with zero offset at the second splice. It is anticipated that the high sensitive structures will find applications in robot arms and artificial limbs.
